Announcement 28,321

James Harris (JSH) no longer will post anything about math in these three
newsgroups. He has indicated he might post his findings, when he can factor
RSA, one of the easy ones.

However, due to thousands of false successes reported by JSH, we have
formally initiated public proceedings to remove him from all existing usenet
groups via his ISP, and creating a separate newsgroup for him/his math
called "sci.jsh.math" or something everybody likes.

Due to the extraordinary amount of world wide internet traffic expected
when he finally breaks RSA in this new newsgroup, we are installing a new
telephone line and upgrading his modem from 150 Baud to 4800.

4799 baud or 4801 baud (twin primes).


Ode to James Harris

Somebody said it couldn't be done,
But James with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So James buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
James started to sing and he tackled the thing
And James never fucking could do it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one has ever done it";
But James took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
James started to sing and he tackled the thing
And James never fucking could do it.

There are thousands to tell James it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to James, one by one,
"How hopeless that task set before you."
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
James take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
And James, you'll never fucking do it.

149 baud or 151 baud (also twin primes)

Baud rates, yes, a new way to find twin primes.

Will the new baud rates help to factor T and provide f_1 and f_2?

What a breakthrough!

if any have some interest in being loved by us, they
are averse to render us a service which they know to be disagreeable. They
treat us as we wish to be treated. We hate the truth, and they hide it from
us. We desire flattery, and they flatter us. We like to be deceived, and
they deceive us.

So each degree of good fortune which raises us in the world removes us
farther from truth, because we are most afraid of wounding those whose
affection is most useful and whose dislike is most dangerous. A prince may
be the byword of all Europe, and he alone will know nothing of it. I am not
astonished. To tell the truth is useful to those to whom it is spoken, but
disadvantageous to those who tell it, because it makes them disliked. Now
those who live with princes love their own interests more than that of the
prince whom they serve; and so they take care not to confer on him a benefit
so as to injure themselves.

This evil is no doubt greater and more common among the higher classes; but
the lower are not exempt from it, since there is always some advantage in
making men love us. Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men
deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he
does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few
friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his
absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.

Man is, then, only disguise, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in himself and
in regard to others. He does not wish any one to tell him the truth; he
avoids telling it to others, and all these dispositions, so removed from
justice and reason, have a natural root in his heart.

Josephus): "he shall cast down many ten thousands, but he shall not be
strengthened by it. For the king of the north," (Antiochus the Great),
"shall return with a greater multitude than before, and in those times also
a great number of enemies shall stand up against the king of the south,"
(during the reign of the young Ptolemy Epiphanes); "also the apostates and
robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but
they shall fall." (Those who abandon their religion to please Euergetes,
when he will send his troops to Scopas; for Antiochus will again take
Scopas, and conquer them.) "And the king of the north shall destroy the
fenced cities, and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and all shall
yield to his will; he shall stand in the land of Israel, and it shall yield
to him. And thus he shall think to make himself master of all the empire of
Egypt, (despising the youth of Epiphanes, says Justin). "And for that he

424. All these contradictions, which seem most to keep me from the knowledge
of religion, have led me most quickly to the true one.

SECTION VII: MORALITY AND DOCTRINE

425. Second part.--That man without faith cannot know the true good, nor
justice.

All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means
they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and
of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different
views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the
motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.

And yet, after such a great number of years, no one without faith has
reached the point to which all continually look. All complain, princes and
subjects, noblemen and commoners, old and young, strong and weak, learned
and ignorant, healthy and sick, of all countries, all times, all ages, and
all conditions.

A trial so long, so continuous, and so uniform, should cert

out for the boar which his dogs have been hunting so hotly for
the last six hours. He requires nothing more. However full of sadness a man
may be, he is happy for the time, if you can prevail upon him to enter into
some amusement; and however happy a man may be, he will soon be discontented
and wretched, if he be not diverted and occupied by some passion or pursuit
which prevents weariness from overcoming him. Without amusement there is no
joy; with amusement there is no sadness. And this also constitutes the
happiness of persons in high position, that they have a number of people to
amuse them and have the power to keep themselves in this state.

Consider this. What is it to be superintendent, chancellor, first president,
but to be in a condition wherein from early morning a large number of people
come from all quarters to see them, so as not to leave them an hour in the
day in which they can think of themselves? And when they are in disgrace and
sent back to their country houses, where they lack neither wealth nor
servants to help them on occasion, they do not fail to be wretched and
desolate, because no one prevents them from thinking of themselves.

140. How does it happen that this man, so distressed at the death of his
wife and his only son, or who has some great lawsuit which annoys him, is
not at this moment sad, and that he seems so free from all painful and
disquieting thoughts? We need not wonder; for a ball has been served him,
and he must return it to his companion. He i

101. I set it down as a fact that if all men knew what each said of the
other, there would not be four friends in the world. This is apparent from
the quarrels which arise from the indiscreet tales told from time to time. I
